Need help with my first soil mix

Hey guys,

My main plan was to do either subcools or Vic's super soil. I had also found another more simple super soil recipe .

But sadly I don't have 30-60 days to cook / prep it. My growing season ends early October and my babies are ready to go out two weeks from now .

My question is, my local grocery store sells bagged soil with the name "super soil" on it. I'm guessing this isn't organic or would it be?
Regardless , would it be decent stuff , and could I just add my own amendments to it and get a good working soil ready within the next two weeks?

I currently have the following amendments purchased :

Blood meal
Bone meal
High P Jamaican bat guano
Kelp meal
Earth worm castings
Dolomite lime

Would it be possible to buy that soil and add any of these things to make a decent soil?

Or should I just buy such a soil or use my promix HP and stick to using my leftover general hydroponics nutrients ?

Just trying to plan my grow , I've only done a few grows in the past , two outdoor and one bubbler hydroponic grow . It's been years since I've grown so I apologize
If I sound like a noob.

Would really appreciate any help I can get on what I can do with what I have .
Thanks guys really appreciate it

When I grew in soil I made my own by using 2parts promix or other peat mix,1 part manure and compost,1 part perlite.A cup of dolomite per 10 gal.The best premed soil is the black bag Dr Earth.

I have 12 horses so an unlimited supply to horse manure . But I've heard it has to be aged and there's a process to using it right? And wouldn't I still have to cook my soil to do a mix containing manure ?

I live in Canada and have no idea where to get that soil you speak of. Would Home Depot, rona , Walmart or home hardware have it ? Those are my options as far as places to shop.

Thanks

Canadian here. Most products mentioned that are USA, will not be available in canada, and if so, they cost way way more for us with import, shipping, and the exchange rate. You best bet, this is what I did over the last year, just research all the amendments that make a good mix, and try to get it in bulk locally from sources like farm/feed stores or garden centers. Looks like you got quite a few already so your almost there.

Dig up the dirt under the fresh stuff. It should look blackish with hay pieces decomposed in it. MM-mm good!

Does anyone have a good super soil recipe for a first time??
